Iran awaits quick response to nuclear option
Iran expects a quick response from earth powers on an accord to ship much of its lower enriched uranium to Turkey as portion of a nuclear energy swap work, the foreign ministry explained on Tuesday.
Iran will notify the Global Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by way of the typical channels, within a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast stated.
"We assume members of the Vienna group (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to rapidly announce their readiness" to implement the fuel swap, he told reporters.
The IAEA claimed it has acquired the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now ready for Tehran to notify it immediately of what commitments it had undertaken.
"We are now expecting created notification from Iran that it agrees with the related provisions included in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.
The so-labeled Vienna Team created an supply last October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the nation in return for greater grade reactor fuel to be supplied by Russia and France.
Iran stalled on the work insisting it wants a simultaneous swap on its individual soil, which was rejected by planet powers.
Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (two,640 pounds) of lower enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for fuel for a Tehran research reactor.
Mehmanparast said if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the nations engaged in the first IAEA-backed deal, it "will pave the way for far more nuclear cooperation."
